We like to know what we should be watching on the various streaming platforms around the place at the moment. And joining us from the 3pm pick up is Megan Puppers. Good morning. Hello. Good morning. Good to see you in person. This is the first time we've done it. I know.

I came in really early especially for you. Thank you. Thanks for coming in. No worries. Tell us what to watch. What time do you usually get up? Seven. My 18 month old actually sleeps through to seven. That's always the dream really What time do you usually get up? Seven. My 18-month-old actually sleeps through to seven.

That's always the dream, really, isn't it? Yeah. What's the key to that? Sedatives. No, no one says that. We should have more children's sedatives. Just like, oh, I'm done with you for the day. Just for a couple of hours?

Sedatives, you should be having those right now. That's just the Pammo, isn't it? You're like, oh, do you need some Pammo? No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine now. You should be having those right now. That's just the Pam-O, isn't it? You're like, oh, do you need some Pam-O? No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine now. I have some Pam-O. All right, what are we watching this week? What's some of the shows you're into?

Well, not that I've watched it, but I thought it was worth a mention because it dropped on Monday. Prequel of Game of Thrones. Did you guys watch Game of Thrones? I was really into that. I really enjoyed it. Until the last episode? Yeah, the last episode Yeah I mean it's probably

One of those ones Because no one's Going to be happy With our Yinda series Really Of that magnitude I never saw it I never saw it

But I imagine There was a lot of Hype around it But now this is A prequel House of the Dragon It's on Neon and Soho Mixed reviews

So I think like You're probably Not going to get The epic characters that you've got on Game of Thrones but apparently it looks really good it's set 200 years before so there'll be no characters the same but apparently there's still boobs blood and dragons that's what we come for BBD there's a lot of yeah a lot of stuff there that can be quite confronting in that show and you know and a lot of characters to remember.

It's like the workplace. When you go out there, you go, Hey, you. You know, when you don't quite get everyone's name. Old mate's no longer there and stuff. One day I'd love to take Ben out and get him to name everyone in the office. Yeah, there's old mate. Were you a dragon nerd?

Did you love all the Game of Thrones? I resisted for so long with Game of Thrones because it sounded weird. But then I jumped in at like season four or something and loved it. Our friend was always like, you tell people to watch the show and there's, it was Guy Williams. I always tell people to watch the show and then they turn it on and there's like incest. And they're like, what sort of sick, what's going on? I was going to say that's included in the prequel, but I thought I'd leave out the incest chat. Game of Thrones, it's on Neon, the prequel? Yes.

Riverdale is up to season six. This is the one that stars KJ Apa, and season seven is going to be its final. It is another one of those shows where you're trying to explain it, but it's based off a comic book. The Archie comics, right? It's a little bit far-fetched at times, but it's also teen horror drama situation

that has good fashion. And I mean, I don't know if it's up your guys' alley. I know I watched the first series of it. Yeah. Yeah. It was good. It's kind of got that, that had the murder mystery in there as well.

Yes. Kind of reminded me of Desperate Housewives a little bit vibe, but with, you know, so high school kids. So every season has like a different bad guy. Keija Apa does amazingly well, the Kiwi actor in that. He's so good.

I always forget that he's a Kiwi because he just nails the accent. You know, Ben Boyce, 2 o'clock in the morning, Instagrammed KJ Apa and said, I love you, bro, I love you, bro. I was watching the first series. I'd had a few drinks. At 2am?

Yeah, it was when it first came out. But I messaged. He didn't reply back because why would he? He had millions of followers. And I don't know why I told you about it. I was like, I don't want to take it. I messaged. And then he didn't reply back, because why would he? He had millions of followers. And I don't know why I told you about it. I was like, I don't want to take it. I messaged him and said, hey, man, you do awesome. Because I was watching him going, he's incredible.

We're all proud of him, but you're not 2 AM proud of him. I was, in my moment, watching it by myself. I was like, man, this guy, he's doing great. And I messaged him, and we talked about him. Or just write it down and do it the next morning. We talked to him on radio, and you brought it up. And that was a little awkward. next morning We talked to him on radio And you brought it up And it was That was a little awkward

Hey You know So you never replied to him I remember interviewing him In his school uniform And he was on short and direct And I had to write him a note For his teacher

While he was late Oh really I was like You've come a long way man You've come a long way Listen Now hey Here's a question for you

Because you are Across all the streaming services What's the best one? If I wanted to dip my toes into the streaming pool But I don't want to get 17 of them What one would you lock in? Are you talking quantity or quality? Because quantity is Netflix

But then we all know the Netflix movies are a little bit like Family wise, the kids will watch Disney At home more than they would watch Netflix Quality I'd say Disney. And then you've got the Kardashians. There's so many. Neon, Amazon Prime. It's very hard.

But we've had this conversation before. Remember we were all bitching and moaning about Sky. We were like, bloody Sky. It was all there. It was all there. And now we've put a variety. Now we're paying bloody 17 different services. Yeah, exactly.

You know, we had it. We had it, guys. But some people, like, end the membership and watch something on one, and then you get the week free again on another one. So you just tap into each one when there's a show on that you want to watch. I hear that. People sometimes get a month. It's a hell of a schedule.

It's like a race against time to watch everything they want to watch in a month. Do you have to put your credit details in, though? Yeah. So you need to be on to it. Yeah. Oh, you set an alarm in a month. Do you have to put your credit details in though? Yeah. So you need to be on to it. Yeah. Otherwise it takes hours to make sure. Oh, you set an alarm

in your calendar. Yeah. So you could get away with just week free. Oh, but you need multiple email addresses I would imagine. It's a commitment.

So many aliases. It's an insatiable desire for content nowadays, isn't it? I reckon they're going to run out. Like the movie companies and the production.

They're always going to run out of content. This is World War II. They're commissioning stuff all the time. They're not struggling. You know, we're watching it at a rate of knots where they can't keep up with production. You take my word for it.

I think the storylines might need to, you know, that might be more varied.
